WTF??? Maybe Al Gore was Right and Rush was Wrong?

Only hit 93 here in the desert. Was a damn nice day.

104 in Escondido. Looking at my pellet stove heater wantonly.

Ditched work early and drove home by 4pm so I can go for a bike ride. I finally looked at the temp. as I got off my car. It read 102. My wife stopped my fat ass from going out and torture myself. Instead, we went for an early dinner in a nice cool place. Yeah, it was Africa hot here today.

I played golf yesterday and it was 116. But it is Saudi Arabia after all. And it's a dry heat.

My kids leaving six years ago set me adrift. Last cool song they turned me on to was "Two Trailer park girls go 'round the outside."

I am the walking dead.

Rained in Akron today.

The F you song is Killing in the Name Of by Rage Against the Machine. Great band. The guitarists of both that band and Tool grew up together. Their first album is one of the heaviest ever. Perfect fusion of funk and metal.

Tool is one of the special bands. A lot of hidden details and nuances. Amazingly creative and positive (in a sometimes oblique and sarcastic way). Been 10 years since the last album, but its kinda like a Kubrick film. Worth the wait.

You like bass riffs?



PM me if you want some suggestions for good stuff or go to the music thread.

But weather isn't climate.

And the problem with that is ________ (?)

Winter sucks. Cold sucks. I'm fine with hot / warm / whatever. I've been out surfing almost daily for the last couple of weeks without needing a heavy wetsuit. No complaints. I have a few old cans of r12 in the garage I think I should use for target practice just to keep the global warming thing happening. When palm trees start sprouting up around here and my place becomes oceanfront, I'll be happy. I say bring it.

I grew up in Los Angeles and remember smog days. F*** heat. I'm done with it.

I'll take those cans of R-12. A local shop went belly up across the street in Van Nuys. Bought a 30 gallon tank of R-12 for $60. Spent the whole summer making money.

BTW, It was nice and drizzly in Portland today. 65 degrees. You can smell the fireplaces going, the streets are alive with good music and beer.

70 degrees in Calgary yesterday.
Love long warm dry fall seasons.
Suppose to be a big El Nino year so it should produce some interesting conditions across North America.

Doesn't make a difference what it's like outside when you're indoors all day.

We should all move underground and then it wont matter
